I couldn't find anything at my local christian book store, and I was hesitant to order reference books online. This was exactly what I expected from the description, and just exactly what I was looking for.

This is one of the most helpful little tools I have in my library! What is a parechesis? How about that word you see throughout many commentaries, paraenesis? What is the Didache? Did you forget exactly what was the Hexapla? What does it mean when a commentator says that the construction of a given passage is anacoluthon? There is no need to skip over important issues in the books you like to read. Matthew DeMoss has provided a concise and cogent dictionary that will become your New Testament study companion. It is so handy when I draw a blank concerning various terms. This work defines over 1700 terms of grammer, word study, textual criticism, exegetical method and New Testament criticism. It is user-friendly for the informed layperson, student, pastor, teacher and expert.
